TOKYO, JAPAN – Nintendo has remained secretive about the development studio working on the highly anticipated Mario & Luigi: Brothership game. Despite inquiries from journalist Stephen Totilo, the gaming giant declined to disclose the identity of the team behind the revived action RPG series. This decision comes after the original studio, AlphaDream, ceased operations in 2019.
Nintendo did confirm, however, that “some of the original developers” are participating in the creation of Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The company assured fans that more information about the developers would be revealed in the game credits upon release. The involvement of these “original developers” remains a mystery, although many former AlphaDream employees have since joined related teams within Nintendo.
The recent announcement of Mario & Luigi: Brothership by Nintendo has stirred excitement among fans, as it marks the series’ debut on the popular Switch console. Set to be released on November 7th of this year, Brothership represents the first completely new installment since Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam on the 3DS in 2015. While specific details about the game are scarce, it is described as a thrilling seafaring adventure unfolding across enigmatic islands, promising evolved moves for the iconic Mario brothers.
The anticipation for Mario & Luigi: Brothership continues to build as players eagerly anticipate the release on the Switch platform. With the involvement of some of the original developers from AlphaDream, there is hope for a game that pays homage to the beloved series while introducing fresh elements to captivate both new and longtime fans.
